HTPC/Gamming Rig under construction

[ALYNCH75]

have a misison to build a new machine. It will be for HTPC and gamming. My signature has the parts I am going to use. Scracth the Antec Aria it sucks so I will be getting a new case. My problem is finding a good motherboard with lots of onboard features. I will be purchasing a PCI Express video card. Also note that the Gigabyte board has to go its sucks so I will need a new motherboard. I prefer matx form factor but if I go with the overture atx will be fine. I really am trying to keep the case compact and trasportable with good airflow and cooling.

Please send me some suggestions.

The cases I have narrowed down to :

Antec Minuett II (micor atx so it would need a low profile pci express video card)
Antec Overture latest model
Aspire Q-Pack
I would rather have a small or cube case to travle to lan parties so the overture would be a last resort.

Any advice on cases would be appreciated.

I like the silverstone SUGO.
They made a updated version that I asusme has better cooling than the one I built for my GF.

Anyways with the new NFORCE 4 MicroATX boards out I think this is the way to go.
Espically now they have Gig on it.

if you want mATX, the GeForce6150 boards are the way to go.

also, if you go for a low-profile PCI-E GFX card, don't expect the best gaming.
